ALL RECORDS BROKEN.
The Umbria Makes a Wonderfully Quick
Trip Across the Ocean.

The record of the ocean grayhounds"
has again been lowered. The vessel which
now stands at the head of he list is the Uni
bria, of the Cunard Line, which arrived at
New York June from Liverpool and Queens
town. Her time from the latter port was
six days four hours and twelve minutes. The
Etruria of the same line, which has hereto
fore stood at the head of the list, but which
now takes second place, has made the west
ward passage in six days five hours and
thirty-six minutes, and the eastward passage
in six days five hours and eighteen minutes,
or over an hour behind the Umbrias last
performance.
The total distance travelled after leaving
Queenstown was 2,S4S miles. The average
speed maintained was nearly nineteen ana
a quarter miles an hour. The highest days
run during the voyage was 4Sl miles, which
was completed at noon June 3. Inc
Umbria beat this admirable days work IN a
former voyage, when she ran 496 miles IN
single day.
The weather throughout the voyage was
favorable The winds were usually light and
from north or northeast, while the sea was
smooth On Friday the weather was 10ggy
for about eight hours but was not thick
enough to render reduction of speed neces-
sarv The passengers took the utmost m
terest in the speed of the vessel, and the bellel
that the record would be beaten on this trip
gradually grew stronger. When, on reacnlns
the bar. it was found that the tiIne
of the voyage was as low as SIX Gays loull
hours and twelve minutes, great enthusiasm
prevailed among passengers, officers, ana
crew Among the passengers was Carolnai

The mines Of this state must be so ad-

The infinity Of wrongs under which the

deep and abiding love of humanity and

 of his canvass was that invented by some

 there were thousands of men who voted for
 Fremont on account of Jessie.
 Lincoln WAS characterized as "Old Abe,' ,'' s'Uncle Abe," the 'tRailsplitter," but only one of his three antagonists had 8 nick name. That, however, was splendid, the "Little Giant'' It was worth as much to will find men even to day who speak with tender recollection of the ''Little Giant"

 New York State has furnished almost all the nicknames for parties and factions with in parties. Thirty five years ago the Wings derisively dubbed the Democrats 'locofo- cos." It was rare that you heard Whig speak of Democrat as anything but a loco foco. Yet the name was applied originally almost by way of jest, and arose from the use of loeofoco matches at a Democratic meeting in old Tammany Hall (now the Sun building.) It is something of coincidence that from the same building in later years should have come the appellation which has been universally accepted as applying to the self-appointed remnant in politics-the ap- pellation of "mugwumps." The great tac- tions of the Democratic party forty years ago received their distinguished nicknames in New York. These were the 'barnburners' and "hunkers." 1.-The silver gray Wings" is also of New York origin. Later it was New York Republican, Roscoe Conkling, who dubbed the great factions in the Repu blican party 'stalwarts" and ''half- breeds"
